Flea Market Finds with Mum!

Mum's shabby chic stool=$5

Mum and I spent an awesome morning at her famous Kiwanis Market, several garage sales and some thrift stores. It was a morning guaranteed to have driven Husband around the bend sideways but Mum and I had a blast. We even punctuated all the thrifting with a stop at a fabulous gelato place. Oh my goodness. It was heavenly. It is located in an old church of all things and the gelato and coffee were so good that they should be illegal. Even the washroom was to die for. Yes, I am serious.

I have added a selection of our finds. And this is a mixture of Mum stuff and my stuff. Feast your eyes!

Pyrex bowls, will go to Daughter, Mum found these for under $1 for all 3

Mum lives in a sweet little town in the Okanagan! Great, cheap thrifting! It was just so much fun and we are now seated on Mum's back deck, under a giant maple tree, with the warm afternoon breeze, about to have afternoon tea. Happiness!

Milk glass, pyrex and Jadeite? You scored. I had 4 bowls and my kids have managed to break 3! The great thing about thrift is the "oh well, it was only a buck"...so I can never get too mad. Love the sheets. I am addicted to vintage sheets.

Sounds like you and your Mum had a lovely time Cathy and you found some wonderful treasure too.Gorgeous vintage sheets... I wonder what you're going to do with those...Ha-ha. My fave is the green retro looking one x
